Opening Day has arrived, and you can watch all the action live on Twitch. The game between the LG Twins and Doosan Bears is being broadcasted in Korean. As of the bottom of the third inning, LG leads 1-0. In the other game, the Samsung Lions and NC Dinos are tied at 0-0.
SK Wyverns
The SK Wyverns will play their first game at KBO Opening Day, April 7. The team will play the Hanwha Eagles at Happy Dream Ballpark in Incheon. Previously, the team represented the Jeollabuk-do area. However, the team was forced to dissolve due to the bankruptcy of the Ssangbangwool Group. As a result, the league reassigned the franchise to the SK conglomerate.
Kim Sung-keun was the manager of the SK Wyverns from 2007 to 2012. However, he was removed from the team mid-season and Lee Man-soo was hired to take his place. The team enjoyed success under Kim Sung-keun. From 2007 to 2012, the team reached the Korean Series every year. However, in 2011 and 2012, they were defeated by the Samsung Lions.
The SK Wyverns are the reigning champions of the Korea Baseball Organization (KBO). For this season’s KBO opener, the team paid special attention to its home field. During the game, a large augmented reality image of the mythical wyvern appeared on the world’s largest LED baseball scoreboard. When fans pressed a cheer button, the wyvern performed an interactive performance. Fans watching the game on television were also able to witness this high-tech spectacle.
The Korean Baseball Organization has been trying to attract more fans. Some teams have installed banners featuring photos of fans in the stands. The league is actively planning for fans to return to games this summer. The league plans to allow teams to fill their stadiums to 20 percent capacity by June.
LG Twins
The LG Twins are one of the original franchises in the Korean Baseball Organization. The team was formerly known as the MBC Chungryong but was purchased by the LG Corporation and renamed. The team currently ranks third in the league. This season, they’ve been able to sign former MLB pitcher Casey Kelly and minor league outfielder Roberto Ramos. Both players have been productive this year.
The LG Twins have been able to make up for their lack of home runs with an impressive lineup. Despite a sub-par pitching staff, the lineup has been able to put up crooked numbers. In their most recent game, they scored seven runs without hitting a home run. This is an impressive feat in itself. They also swept the lowly Eagles. Although Tyler Wilson threw a quality start, the big culprit of last night’s game was Woo-young Jung, who gave up three runs in the bottom of the ninth inning before recording an inning-ending strikeout.

The KBO season will feature a number of home games. The top five teams will be playing two-game series on opening day. Hanwha Eagles and LG Twins will play at their home stadiums, while the Samsung Lions and SSG Landers will face off in Suwon and Changwon, respectively.
As a team, the LG Twins have a slugging percentage of.414, and they average 5.28 runs per game. They’ve also hit 158 doubles and have 367 walks. They’ve accounted for 2,841 putouts. Overall, they’ve stolen 102 bases. Eighty-seven of those attempts have been successful, while 17 have been caught.
Doosan Bears
The Doosan Bears are the reigning KBO champions and the last team to lose in the Korean Series, but that didn’t stop them from moving forward to the next level in the 2020 season. However, they did lose ace pitcher Raul Alcantara to injury, leaving them with some question marks on their pitching staff. In his place, Doosan has brought in Walter Lockett, a 26-year-old right-hander who has pitched in 20 games for MLB. Another veteran lefthander, Ariel Miranda, is a 32-year-old Cuban pitcher with experience in the NPB, MLB, and the Chinese Professional Baseball League.
The Doosan Bears have a 1.46 team WHIP, which indicates that they are a good team to watch out for. Their pitching staff has given up just 61 home runs this year and have walked only 82 times. This is a good start for a team looking to move up in the standings, as they have already stolen 69 bases this season. However, the Doosan Bears have been caught 22 times this season. The team’s pitchers have also surrendered 498 runs. With all of this, they are fourth in the league.
The Doosan Bears vs NC Dinos game will be played on Thursday, August 11. The game will be played at 6:30 PM on the Eastern Standard Time zone. Fans from around the world will be able to watch the games via live streaming or on their favorite social media accounts. The Doosan Bears are currently ranked sixth in the KBO standings, while the NC Dinos are seventh in the standings. The Doosan Bears are favored to win this game, and they will have Choi Won-Joon start the game.
Despite the high level of fan attendance, the Korean Baseball Organization is committed to ensuring that its games are safe for fans. To that end, the league will implement new policies to ensure the safety of its fans. Players and fans alike will be required to wear masks and gloves and will not be allowed to be in the stadium if they have an illness. The KBO will also make sure that the stadium is not overcrowded.
The Bears have been a force in the KBO for years. They are the defending champions and are a top contender for the title again in 2020. Despite losing their star shortstop Josh Lindblom over the winter, the team is still loaded with talented players. Jose Miguel Fernandez and Kim Jae-hwan will be the Bears’ main options to score runs.
Samsung Lions
Opening day in the KBO was a special occasion for the Samsung Lions. Eight-time Korea Series champions, the Lions hosted the NC Dinos on this rain-delayed opening day. The hitter-friendly Daegu Samsung Lions Park, nestled against a forested hill, has been compared to the Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati.
The Lions’ offense has been very strong in the first half of the season. They are slugging.369 and obtaining 287 free bases. They’ve also hit 59 home runs and have scored 417 runs. They’re a top-ten team in Korean baseball and rank eighth overall.
The top five Korean baseball teams will open their season with two-game series. Hanwha Eagles and Doosan Bears will play in Seoul. The LG Twins and Samsung Lions will play in Suwon and Gwangju, respectively. The SSG Landers will play against the NC Dinos in Changwon.
The opening day of the KBO League will be streamed live on Twitch and will be broadcast in Korean. The game is scheduled to start at 1 a.m. on April 8 and will be called by Eduardo Perez and Karl Ravech. The KBO League consists of 10 teams, each playing a 144-game season. The teams will play 16 times each year, and the names of the teams come from their sponsors. The Samsung Lions’ names are based on their logos and mascots.
The KBO League is off to a great start. Fans can now watch the games live and are just as excited as fans of MLB teams. But the KBO has a different set of rules. Until now, the KBO was restricted to stadiums. Fortunately, COVID-19 protocols have been relaxed and fans can now watch in person.
